SRINAGAR: PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday said that the country’s constitutional relation with Jammu and Kashmir would turn into that of “occupation and colonisation” if the State’s special status is scrapped.
The former chief minister has been raising the pitch on the issue in the run-up to the Lok Sabha polls, warning the ruling BJP of any attempt to tamper with Article 35-A and Article 370.
Addressing party worker’s in Sangrama and Sheeri areas of Baramulla district of north Kashmir, she said that by “targeting Article 35-A and Article 370, the BJP is hell bent on converting the legal and constitutional relationship between J-K and the Union into a formal occupation”. (AGENCIES)
